2013 Peugeot 208 1.6L Petrol · YC63 ABF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-15 at 89,109 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2026-01-09 at 89,094 miles—also without recorded defects—suggests an anomaly in the testing process. Previous tests from 2022 to 2025 show consistent passing results with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recorded issues in the last four tests implies the car has met legal standards, though the January 2026 failure raises questions about procedural accuracy or temporary technical faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 89,109 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 6,855 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing, with intervals of 12–14 months. Notably, the 2024-01-15 test at 80,417 miles and the 2025-01-24 test at 86,539 miles reflect a 6,122-mile increase over 12 months, slightly above average but not alarming. The final two tests in 2026 show minimal mileage progression, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven infrequently in recent months. The record lacks gaps, indicating consistent MOT compliance. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these often develop over time. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should be checked, as older models may show signs of rust in harsh environments. While the MOT records show no defects, the January 2026 failure—despite no recorded issues—highlights the importance of a hands-on assessment to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond documented tests.
